I've read this and many of the comments and still don't quite understand what is being blocked. Nobody has quite stated it explicitly, and what seems to be being implied seems too absurd to be true, but I'm assuming it must be true hence all the outrage against La Liga, their media partners and the government.

So just to really spell it out for an idiot like me: this means that _all_ internet users in Spain are blocked from accessing _any_ of the IP ranges that La Liga doesn't like, while a football match is in play, regardless of whether the services they are trying to access have anything to do with pirating football matches? Is that the actual situation?

Edit: thanks @npteljes for providing context from a previous HN post...
